Erythrose 4-P has been inferred to play a key role in the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway [11, and in the path of carbon in photosynthesis [2], despite the fact that it has never been convincingly detected and characterized in any tissue. The studies of Kornberg and Racker [3], in which synthetic erythrose 4-P was added to transaldolase and fructose 6-P, to produce the recognized products heptulose 7-P and triose 3-P, enabled the hypothetical ‘4 carbon fragment’[4] to be confidently assumed to be erythrose 4-P.Erythrose 4-P has been reported in Krebs ascites tumour cells at a concentration of 0.005 nmol/g of packed cells [5] and in mammary gland [6] at a concentration of 9.2-l 3.8 nmol/ml of intracellular water. The transaldolase method [7], used for these estimations, leaves room to doubt that the aldo acceptor molecule for the dihydroxyacetone moiety of fructose 6-P was in fact erythrose 4-P. Ribose 5-P will react in the transaldolase catalyzed reaction (1) to give rise to glyceraldehyde 3-P as does erythrose 4-P (2).
